    Now that the board is back up and working can someone tell me how to PM Hoosier? The only thing I could find was what looked like a semi-private board. It looks like others can still read but not reply... I don't mind my phone number out to those legitimate users but I prefer it not open to...

    So I'm trying to PM a member and all I can find is "Start Conversation" which looks to be publicly visible but between two people with the option for others to join in....

    That shocks me, the whole point of the WD hitches is to balance things out. If the truck is not riding correctly you can be in for a wild ride on good roads. I could only image being even more susceptible to problems on slick roads on trailers that are really heavy. Honestly, had I bought my...

    His is the XL so I believe that's the long wheel base.

    old abe - I would have to ask him I think he had load rated tires but honestly I'm not sure. He's defiantly had it long enough to change tires more than once. So if he did not put something better suited for his needs, that's on him. I hear you and understand. I was just curious. I do strap...

    Uperjim: I have a buddy with a Yukon XL and he has a huge 36' bunkhouse trailer. He refuses to drive on the interstates unless he absolutely has to in the summertime. He pulls on the state roads and yes he has his set up with a standard weight distribution hitch. For him it's a side to side tail...

    Sorry I've been dealing with three family members in the hospital. (Not COVID) the worst is my uncle, that is in the ICU due to open heart surgery. Yesterday he opened his eyes for the first time since the 13th. So things a finally look better but he still has a ways to go. As said above the...

    wisco-mb sorry to hear you had to deal with that. Sounds like overall you were lucky. So did you have your sleds tied down? If so how? Ratchet straps or tie down bars? With all my years on the fire department I've seen a few accidents. One was a horse trailer upside down in a ditch. The horse...

    Yep, so I just went with it. I figure there was more interest in the hualing side of the story. I'm guilty too, but it was my original post. So if it helps someone out so they don't end up like the picture I'm good with it. That was definingly a bad day for those guys. Which could have been...

    So I bought my trailer used, the guy before me was towing with a Class C RV. With that he was using a weight distribution hitch. He included that as part of the deal and I have used it anytime I'm pulling the trailer. Obviously if the trailer is light then I do not need it. I also don't use it...

    I sent this picture to one of my buddies when I finally stopped for lunch driving home Sunday. He said he saw it all over Facebook a couple hours beforehand. I said well that's about the time I was through there.. (12:30EST) Just wondering if anybody had the scoop? Driver and passengers...

    2023 Yamaha Snowmobiles?

    Is it a two-stroke 3 cylinder 900? There was a Yamaha teaser video the other day and the graphics said three cylinder on the side. Just thought that was an odd graphic that I have on the sled and to pan by it with the camera and a teaser video. The chassis did look the same from the sniplet...

    Ski Doo Ace 900 Track Swap

    So I have a sled I been thinking about doing the samething to. I bought it last year for my son and it has studs. Between tearing up the trailer and drive, garage floor, I hate the studs! Knowing he has extra grip for stopping on the trail I'm very undecide on removing the studs...So far I have...

    Lost or lost as we know it. Watch any video of someone getting pulled over on YouTube on a sled. No matter how good the interaction is even if the person posting says how nice the cops were. There is always a hand full of them in the comments that are the, "They will never catch me, crowd, that...

    I had an oddball situation a few weeks ago. I took my 12 year old for his first trail ride. We were in SW lower MI, just north of Kalamazoo. On the west side was more forest and the east side was more fields... As we were getting back in the fields we come to a road crossing There is a field on...
